Before leaving Hingham I finally was able to get a picture of this sign. Massachusetts has one for each of their towns and it's such a kick to drive from one town to another and see this sign with date of settlement started. Hard to get pictures because you don't know where the town line begins and there is no place to pull over for a quick stop and picture. It's a bummer.

What a dusty dirty job. We heeded our instructions to wear long sleeves and long pants and gloves - those who did not have arms that look like they went through the shredder, oh well. Glad to be of some help.
